Both fnatic and GODSENT haven't lived up to the expectations since the transaction in August. fnatic finished both of the LANs they attended—ESL One New York and EPICENTER: Moscow—5-6th while GODSENT had disappointing results at StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 2, Gfinity CS:GO Invitational, and WESG EU & CIS Finals.

fnatic also revealed that they won't attend the ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals taking place in São Paulo, Brazil from October 26-30, and will play with a substitute during ELEAGUE next month, as dennis is not able to participate due to personal reasons. The player to stand-in for fnatic is not yet announced.

"We're happy to announce the return of Freddy “KRiMZ” Johansson to the Fnatic Counter-Strike line-up. KRiMZ will be rejoining the team in place of Jonas “Lekr0” Olofsson, who will be traded to Godsent. After evaluating the roster changes that took place this summer, both organisations concluded that a return of Krimz and lekr0 to their respective teams is best for the future success of both squads. With this move we will regaining our Legend status for the upcoming CS:GO major." - The full statement is available on fnatic's Facebook Page.

oday we are welcoming back Jonas “Lekr0” Olofsson to the GODSENT squad, while saying goodbye to Freddy “KRiMZ” Johansson. Lekr0 was traded to Fnatic as part of the summer's roster shuffle, but with our recent lacklustre performance, we have concluded that the right decision is to move KRiMZ back to Fnatic in exchange for Lekr0.

We are incredibly excited for Lekr0 to be playing on GODSENT again. His performance this past year - also while at Fnatic - speaks magnitudes of his talent, and we are convinced that will light everyone’s spark.

With this move Fnatic regains Legends status for the upcoming 2017 ELEAGUE Major. The new GODSENT team, including Lekr0, is already bootcamping and we will fight with all our heart to reach the Major.

We want to thank everyone at Fnatic for a friendly position in this admittedly awkward discussion and wish KRiMZ and team godspeed in their new lineup.

Tune in for our ESEA Premier match against Gambit at 7pm CET tonight.

You can play with any swedish roster under the name of godsent.
Look at the subtle lineup that played wesg qualifiers and look at the lineup that actually attended the WESG America lan final...its 2 different teams.

wenton isnt the IGL, twist was the IGL recently.
not like fnatic need any IGL really tho. u just need to randomly call one of the six following strats as fnatic IGL:
scrim out A (or scrim out A late)
scrim out mid (or late)
scrim out B (or late)
all theyve done ever since pronax left.
wenton is gonna get the boot here sooner or later but i guess they wouldnt have been able to make the trade with godsent if they had only offered wenton. woulda had to pay a big buyout then and fnatic is kinda broke as an org afaik.
good move for both sides tho, fnatic need stability = krimz if he can get good again, godsent needs aggro playmaker = lekr0.

i dont know about any of the economical shit really, who gives a fuck about that, doesnt concern me.
ive just been following richard lewis' and thorins content for a long time and they have a few times made the sidenote on some other topic that fnatic as an org is actually not good at money management and theyre kinda broke.
and fuck pyth. im pretty sure after the major they'll get rain (provided faze doesnt go mad now that they have an IGL). if not that they can still get disco doplan or some shit. no need to get fucking pyth.

that doesnt actually sound unreasonable xD
lekr0 was really good lately and krimz was lacklustre. if lekr0 can really 'light the spark' for flusha and jw in particular and krimz continues to play underwhelming then godsent actually got the better end of the deal here xD

Krimz>Lekr0
Lekr0 has no experience in the pro scene and he is very unconstantially, sometimes he gets 30k out of nowhere, but he's not making good plays or anything like that while Krimz is always having a good amount of kills and he just knows what he has to do in every situation. (sorry for bad english)

ofc krimz is a better player than lekr0, never gonna deny that. but fact of the matter is that hes been ultra horseshit for quite a long time now, and fnatic is not gonna instantly become some godlike team just bcs hes back. wenton is shit and neither olof nor dennis have the impact that is expected of them.
while lekr0 has shown some great things recently and i can see a world where flusha and jw start playing a lot better and the whole team works a lot better now that they have an aggressive skilled player again.

M8 I would 100% disagree with that. Lekro>krimz. Krimz is a has been. He was always carried by his team mates even when fnatic was top tier. Lekro was a consistent fragger for both old godsent and new fnatic. He might not have dropped 30 bombs every game but he certainly pulled his weight.
Also, twist>JW. Jw is bad lately. Twist had been god tier. Godsent would be top one with this lineup i think:
Twist
Znajder
Lekro
Flusha/olof
Pronax mastermind.
Or put znajder on awp and have olof and flusha and no twist.

calling krimz a has been that always got carried by his teammates LUL
thats just about the most ridiculously ill-informed thing ive read all day.
he hasnt been on form for quite a while now (hope that will change now) but that doesnt mean u can just discard his past achievements, which include a brief period of being the worlds best player in late 2014, being #7 (iircc) ranked player over all of 2015 and having multiple MVPs of big tournaments.
not to forget his well-deserved reputation of being one of, if not the best bombsite anchors in the game. add to that incredible clutch play and positioning like hardly any other player ever in csgo.
lekro is an up and coming guy, but not much more yet. dont go overboard with this top1 crap. and if ur honestly saying schneider could awp for a top team ur out of ur mind.
the only thing im inclined to agree on is the jw thing. if u called him a has been i wouldnt even be mad. that guy always got overhyped.

Maybe always was the wrong word then. But late 2015 and 2016 (pretty much ever since envyus had their major win) have seen him and pretty much all of fnatic become very stale. This is why i call krimz a has been. I think they're all has beens but you can't just put together a team of new players, no matter how talented they are, and expect them to be a top team. Which is ehy you need a leader like pronax, who might not frag hard but he has the experience as igl. I think old godsent was perfect if all you did was swap wenton for anyone. Preferably an old hand like olof or flusha.

dude do u realize that before olofs injury fnatic won 6 big tourments in a row?
and who do u call a bunch of new players here? certainly aint many in fnatic?? tbh i dunno what great exp wenton has, but twist has plenty of experience? olof, dennis? plenty of exp. they dont need pronax for shit. and especially not if now krimz replaces lekr0.
wenton was never in godsent? like i think ur completely lost dude. and what made this team godlike when they had 2 good players in twist and maybe lekr0 and three shitters in pauf, schneider and pronax? like, please, man.

'ofc krimz is a better player than lekr0, never gonna deny that. but fact of the matter is that hes been ultra horseshit for quite a long time now, and fnatic is not gonna instantly become some godlike team just bcs hes back. wenton is shit and neither olof nor dennis have the impact that is expected of them.'
from my earlier comment?!

All 3 Fnatic AWP:ers (Olof, Dennis, twist) are better than Maikelele, so that seems like a bad idea. Even if you don't agree and rank Maikelele's AWP higher... to get a real IGL, some tactics and free up twist, feels more important than a little sharper AWP:er, does it not?
Maybe an IGL with AWP skills? Personally, I don't think Fnatic need any more aim on any gun, but if you want to compromise. Lekro did have great pistol rounds, so that would be another area I would look at (IGL+pistol skills). 6 free rounds every game is worth a lot, which we saw when Fnatic broke the game after Dennis joined.

wtf would Epsilon want to do with wenton
tbf i think Fnatic will be really good with this roster. LGB was ridiculous even with Cype. Now they have a player who may be similarly skilled, but unlike Cype also is IGLing, and he seems to be good at it.

i think after the major it could happen. I think they need wenton to have their spot or sth right? Maikel will be orgless again, so would make sense to swap out wenton after the major since he is the weakest player.
But i dont know if maikel will stay without team for that long.

Just wait for one more tournament boys when GODsent is turning into HOMEsent - again.
And then Flusha will have second thoughts:
"Hmmm... maybe it's not so good for my career to play with friends, maybe I should start treat CS:GO as a a job instead since no winning = no money"
and decide to move back to Fnatic, hiding his old bad bloods with Dennis & Olof.

It WILL happen once they loosing too much.
Flusha is still young, he has a career infront of him. If he is that stupid to waste his whole entire career to stick around with BOT-Znajdan and BOT-pronax, then hey:
I guess he can sit there and rot in that forever tier 3 team.

Everything can go fast in eSports.
Who of us did expect Dignitas to win Epicenter? The team that actually had to qualify to get in and not even getting invite.
The nation that is known for ChokeNation.

I actually thought that they had a good chance of winning it
they've been playing so fucking well recently, definitely has the potential to become a top 3 team in the near future, just need to find the consistency

Now acquire pyth from NiP and you will be again fighting for the victories at every tournament.
Sadly wenton is not a tier1 material fnatic need to be the best.
Btw nice job kicking all the players from the first major winning team, LGB guys fucked them in the ass.
BOTSENT now just a tier3 team like before.

its honestly stupid what they did with their team, it wasnt that bad like with g2, where you got legit silver with awp.
Jw became very good with rifles, olof jumped like 1 tier below than he was before wrist injury, could have switched roles and left it as it is.

lol
people think that fnatic now will be godlike again but lets not forget that KRiMZ is shit right now and he needs to find his old form.
If he plays the same as in GODSENT, fnatic won't do any damage

lmao everyone saying -wenton doesn't understand he plays IGL and for someone who gets shit on so hard for actually puts up decent numbers so pls stfu, wenton was actually the 3rd most valuable player on fnatic with lekro and twist behind him

Fnatic did this to make pronax team good.
Fnatic will at some point be krimz, flusha, jw, olof and dennis.. Once again.
But they mixed the 2 teams to give pronax'es new team a chance to gain experience.. :)
#believe

Godsent got a better trade in this imo, Krimz hasn't been good since Olof got injured many many months ago don't know about this as a Fnatic fan I will support them but I would of rather kept lekro over wenton especially now that tw1st is calling.

I think Godsent came with worse outcome than Fnatic. Let's see if fnatic come back to good form and get great results like they did in the past. Godsent on the other hand i think would have trouble getting good results with a team of rather random people. Unless they work pretty hard to learn their teammates playstyle and until they synchronise they'd suck in game.

nip should go after flusha and replace pyth. Got nothing against pyth but he'll need a lot of time to recover after injury. He might not even hit the same level he was playing at just like olof. Why risk long rebuild if you can poach flusha now and start working with him
